Energy harvesting from mechanical motion is an effective approach to generate power for low-energy electronic applications. This project, “Piezo Electric Power Generator by Accelerator Clutch,” focuses on generating electrical energy using piezoelectric sensors mounted on an accelerator clutch mechanism. When pressure is applied to the clutch during vehicle operation, the piezoelectric plates convert mechanical stress into electrical energy.

The generated voltage is conditioned using a charge controller and battery charging circuit, allowing the harvested energy to be stored and utilized for applications such as mobile charging. A voltage sensor continuously monitors the generated output and sends the data to an Arduino UNO microcontroller. The microcontroller processes this information and displays the generated voltage on an LCD through an LCD driver circuit. LED indicators provide visual status indications, while a regulated power supply and crystal oscillator ensure stable system operation.

This system demonstrates an efficient method of utilizing otherwise wasted mechanical energy and highlights the potential of piezoelectric technology for sustainable and renewable power generation in automotive and portable electronic applications.
